  A major difference between "fast save" and a normal save is that a =
fast save incrementally updated the file on disk instead of writing the =
whole file from scratch.  Knowing this it is no surprise that the on = disk
image contains uninitialized data left over from previous saves.

  That "doc footer" was such a confusing construction that I'm lashing =
